An atrocious insult to my intelligence

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2013)

I would normally write an interesting and compelling review about a new movie that moved me enough to do so, but in complete honesty I must admit; this is actually the worst film I have ever seen. This film will always be the defining example of what happens when a production crew have a ton of money and technical skill, but no creativity or vision.
Ten minutes into this movie, there are already enough plot holes and ridiculous and cheesy moments. The first issue arose when the narrator explained that to stop a threat which was previously dealt with by bomber planes, humans developed crazy technology, spend hundreds of billions of dollars, and trained thousands of people, in as a result, have a really big metal thing that they can hit the aliens in the face with. That's all.
The biggest insult to my intelligence was when they insisted that because the robots are big, humans aren't capable of controlling them alone. It clearly did not occur to the writers of this film that this is simply ridiculous. These robots have the same number of controls and joints as real, modern day robots. The film continues with a never-ending list of nonsensical and dumb plot points with more holes than you can imagine.
Previously, films of such low calibre have been underbudget too, but this atrocious waste of money that is Pacific Rim actually upsets me: those millions of dollars could have gone towards a programme to increase poverty in third world countries, and would still have been better spent.
